Abstract:
A filament comprising a synthetic polymer and characterized by a hexalobal cross-section having three major lobes and three minor lobes, and a major radius (R 1 ) and a minor radius (R 2 ). Each lobal cross-section having essentially straight side portions extending outwardly and tangent to a convex tip at each end. The ratio of the major radius (R 1 ) to the minor radius (R 2 ) defining an exterior modification ratio (R 1 /R 2 ) of greater than (1).
Abstract:
The invention includes a dyed knit, elastic fabric comprising polyethylene terephthalate and spandex. The fabric has staining grade numbers of 4.0 or higher, as measured by staining of multifiber test fabrics in AATCC Test Method 61-1996-2A, and is dyed with disperse dyes comprising azo or anthraquinone molecular groups. The invention further includes a method for making the knit fabric.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to compositions of specific carboxylic acid, fatty acid or oil derivatives containing nitrile groups and methods of their preparation. The preparation involves a hydrocyanation reaction. A method of hydrogenating the nitrile containing carboxylic acids obtained by the above hydrocyanation to produce amine containing carboxylic acids is also disclosed in this invention.
Abstract:
A polyamide composition, which includes an optical brightener together with either an antimicrobial agent or anti-oxidant stabilizer, or both, is suitable for making yarns, and fabrics, garments, molded articles or other articles such as carpets from these yarns. Processes for incorporating optical brighteners into polyamide compositions, polymers and yarns to make fabrics and molded articles that exhibit superior whiteness after heat-setting are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention provides a polyester bicomponent core spun yarn comprising a sheath of at least one hard fiber and having an English cotton count of from about 5 to about 60 and a core of bicomponent polyester filament. The invention further includes a fabric substantially free of grin-through of the bicomponent polyester filament.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for separating one or more triorganophosphite components from a crude phosphite mixture containing acidic hydrolysis products, the method comprising: contacting said crude phosphite mixture with a basic additive to produce a second mixture comprising a first phase and a second phase, wherein said first phase comprises the basic additive and one or more components independently selected from the group consisting of (R2O)(R3O)POH, (R1O)(HO)PO(H) and H3PO3, wherein R1, R2 and R3 are independently selected from the group consisting of C1 to C18 alkyl, C6 to C18 aryl and hydroxyaryl, and C3 to C18 cycloalkyl and hydroxyalkyl radicals, and wherein R2 and R3 can optionally be connected to each other directly by a chemical bond or through an intermediate divalent group R9; and said second phase comprises one or more triorganophosphite components independently selected from the group consisting of (R4O)(R5O)P(OR6) and ((R7O)(R8O)PO)nA, wherein R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8 are independently selected from the group consisting of C1 to C18 alkyl, C6 to C18 aryl and C3 to C18 cycloalkyl radicals, wherein each of R4, R5 and R6 can optionally be connected to one or both of the other two directly by a chemical bond or through an intermediate divalent group R10, wherein R7 and R8 can optionally be connected to each other directly by a chemical bond or through an intermediate divalent group R11, wherein A is an optionally substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic, aromatic or heteroaromatic radical, and wherein n is an integer greater than 1; and R9, R10, and R11 are independently selected from the group consisting of - O-, -S-, and -CH(R12)-, wherein R12 is selected from the group consisting of H, C6 to C18 aryl, and C1 to C18 alkyl.
Abstract:
Provided by this invention is a modified synthetic polyamide polymer yarn produced by an improved melt extrusion process. Yarn of this invention are either partially oriented yarns (POY) or drawn oriented yarns. The improved process provides for modification of a polymer in a melt extruder. Following this modification of the polymer, a filament forming process step is provided which is coupled to a drawing stage prior to winding a package of yarn.
Abstract:
A spinneret steam blanketing system for blanketing the face of a spinneret with gas. The system includes a steam distribution ring (109) surrounding a filament array (122), where the steam distribution ring (109) abuts the spin head (112) and is removably mounted to said spin head (112). The steam distribution ring (109) is removed and the face (113) of the spinneret may be wiped clean, without the need for removing and replacing the spin pack (108).
